Igniting zombified Zeppelins on the #BrewDiet

October 28, 2011

Tweet

Fridays are always fun days on the #BrewDiet. Typically that’s because of #evfn, where more than the normal amount of drinking ensues. This day was fun for a few different reasons.
First, it was our company Halloween party. Half a day at work — in costume — then a beer and bratwurst party! Was that a [...]

Spooky ending to the #BrewDiet in sight

October 27, 2011

Tweet

 
It’s going to be a busy end to the #BrewDiet. Tomorrow is Ignite Phoenix, plus a concert featuring a friend of mine. Zombies, from what I understand, will be the norm. Prior to that, I’m doing my best to draw the ire of Human Resources, wearing ostensibly one of the more offending costumes. Ever. Pics [...]

W007! Just found out that I’ve been selected as one of the presenters at Ignite Phoenix the Sixth! I’m totally stoked!
When I wrapped up Ignite Phoenix #4, I said that had reached the end of my three-part series on Big. I sat out — as in, in the audience — for Ignite Phoenix #5 [...]

Ignite Phoenix – Big Numbers dry run

June 17, 2009

Tweet

I had a fabulous idea recently. Since timing and rehearsal are more important at Ignite Phoenix than other presentations (your 20 slides auto-rotate every 15 seconds without any input from you), I thought I’d do my night-before run in front of the microphone.
And thanks again to the magic o SlideCast by SlideShare, here is the [...]

Big Distance – My talk from Ignite Phoenix 3

March 2, 2009

Tweet

Here are the slides and the audio track from my Big Distance presentation, originally given at Ignite Phoenix 3 on February 25, 2009. The slides have been corrected. The audio was recorded right here in my office. So is it the exact same talk as happened live last week? Nope. It’s better.
Props to Phil Plait [...]

Ignite Phoenix the Third was last night. And by all accounts, it was far and above the best event so far. The Tempe Center for the Arts was a great venue. A packed venue that quickly setup video screens outside the room for those who couldn’t get in. 300+ extremely appreciative people. Wait, [...]

August 13, 2008

Last night we pulled off the first Ignite Phoenix series of presentations. My honest opinion? Outstanding. Your city needs an event like this, and Phoenix needs to do another one.Kudos to Jeff and Roger for pulling it together. And for twisting my arm to talk.
My presentation on “Big Time” won’t be terribly new for [...]
